14 ‘PAN-EUROPE TERM HELD AS MISNOMER Lecturer on Political Sciences Condemns Name Designating International Alliance. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, December 14.—"“Pan-Eu- rope,” as planned by its advocates, is s omer. So_says Dr. Arthur Dix, lecturer at the Berlin ‘seminary for political sci- ences. An alliance of the. European powers must of necessity also include vast stretches of Africa by virtue of the French and Belgian possessions there, from which a French d Bel- glan hegemony is but a step, he erts. Dr. Dix points out how the Pan- European idea is being propagated by “the truly international prophet Count Coudenhove-Kalergi and the full-blood- ed Frenchman Aristide Briand” from entirely different motives. With or without the exclusion of Eng- | land or Russia, or both, he says, the trademark “Pan-Europe” is misleading. African Adoption Indispensable. For practical reasons such an African addition becomes indispensable to an economic_union of the Western and Central European countries if it is to meet even haif way such great world competitors as the United States, Great Britain and Russia, all with natural re- sources essentfal to the industrial coun- tries of Western and Central Europe. To fill such requirements the Euro- pean countries must look to the tropical and subtropical areas of Africa, he be- lieves. In fact, in every half-way serious map of a future pan-Europe, says Dr. Dix, are incorporated the African col- onies of France, Belgium and Portugal, and, in some cases, also French Indo- China and the Dutch East Indies. But even with the logical elimination of the Dutch East Indies, in view of likely opposition from England and Japan, the African colonies of France and Belgium could supply a pan-Europe with such valuable raw products as gold, copper, fron, zinc, lead, tin, phos- phates, cotton, hemp, oil fruits, rubber, coffee, cocoa, tropical fruits, vegetables, timber, cork, spices, tanbark, tobacco, wine and sugar. Factors in Sales Market. ‘These African areas are also becom- ing factors as a sales market for Euro- pean goods, both by reason of the rapid opening up of new lines of communi- cation and because of the large sums invested in these new channels of com- merce. This aspect of a pan-Europe estab- lished on an African foundation, says Dr. Dix, furnishes conclusive evidence of the mighty economic predominance FPrance, with the assistance of Belgium, would enjoy. And this economic supremacy, Dr. Dix finds, would be augmented by the French military-political advantages ac- cruing from the control of hundreds of thousands of natives who could quickly be thrown across the Mediterranean to Europe, or with the consummation of the projected railway across the Sahara Désert, even be drawn from the most remote African districts.

TENEMENT CLEAN-UP STARTED IN NEW YORK Former Architect’s Clerk, Later Construction Supervisor, Directs Attempt at Improved Conditions. NEW YORK, December 14 (N.AN.A). —Thousands of posses in New York City are so swamped with work and increas- ing detail it is impossible for them to be efficient in the exact sense. Busi- ness, like life in general, grows more complicated before this is realized. Many are the employers, managers, su- perintendents and so on who never find time to take stock and face this issue and decide that their jobs are too big for them and too big for any man in quantity of detail. Jobs are continually outgrowing fa- cilities. Take the tenement house de- partment. Following a report of more than 15,000 violations of the tenement house law and multiple dwelling law in the booming borough of Queens, Wil- liam F. Deegan, commissioner, an- nounces the opening of a Queens office and an attempt at a clean-up. With a myriad alterations in build- ings taking place in all boroughs the task of enforcing the tenement house law is enormous. Hundreds of men and women go about inspecting hallways and getting the baby carriages from under the stairs and ordering the fire escapes cleared. Space is scarce and dwellers are cramped. Maj. Deegan, directing this job, was once an archi- tect's clerk and later supervised much skyscraper construction. In the war he was under Maj. Gen. Goethals, and afterward he was the Americ: Le- gion's State commander, busy improv- ing conditions in hospitals for veterans. wood and Piney Branch. MRS. QUIGLEY DIVORCES HER INJURED HUSBAND Rumors of Reconcilintion With Lawyer in Hospital Recevering From Pistol Wound Ended. By the Associated Press. ¢ . DENVER, December 14.—Granting of a preliminary decree of divorce to Mrs. Virginia Coxe Quigley from her hus- band, Willlam Bryan Quigley, by Dis- trict Judge Henley A. Calvert put an end yesterday to rumors that a recon- ciliation would be effected. Quigley, young attorney of Denver and New York, is in & hospital recover- ing from a pistol wound received in Mrs. Quigley's apartment October 17. Although police pronounced the shoot- ing a suicide attempt, Quigley contend- ed it was accidental. Mrs. Quigley was the only witness in court yesterday. She testified that since their marriage in New York in June, 1926, Quigley frequently was intoxicated and failed to come home. She further said on the stand that he twisted her arms and sometimes threw furniture. She made no reference to Mrs. Wil- liam Kunkel of New York, whose hus- band has bl’oufhfi & $50,000 alienation of affection suit against Quigley. Mrs. Kunkel, now divorced, was formerly Princess Marle Alimova of Petrograd and came to this country as a war refugee. ROCKET-PROPELLED BOAT FAILS IN SECOND TEST By the Associated Press. , Fla., December 14.—Malcolm Pope’s second attempt to speed across Bay Biscayne in a rocket-propelled boat went awry yesterday.

AREAS Highway Education Board Plans 3 Trips in Connection With World Congress. A series of tours for delegates to the Sixth International Road Congress to be held in this city October 6 to 13, has been announced by Thomas H. MacDonald, chairman of the Highway Education Board. Three hundred of the leading highway authorities of the world will be invited by the board to participate in three tours covering the eastern, southeastern and central west- ern sections of the United States. The purpose of the tours is to show the visiting delegates the various types of highways and methods o’ construc- tion employed by the Federal Govern- ment and the States In giving this country perhaps the most extehsive sys- tem of good roads the world has ever known. Each of the tours will cover about 1,500 miles by highway. First Tour to Be of East. The first of the tours will proceed in an easterly direction, for the purp of acquainting delegates with road types and highway construction and highway usage under heavy vehicular and traffic conditions. Starting from Washington on the closing day of the congress, October 13, the delegates who choose the eastern’tour will go by rail, accord- ing to present plans, to New York City and from there by motor bus through | Connecticut to New Haven, through | Massachusetts to Springfield and Bos- | ton, to Schenectady, Syracuse, Roches- ter and Buffalo, N. Y., and down the lake coast to Erie, Pa., and Cleveland, Akron and Toledo, Ohio, and from there to_Detroit. | The second tour will penetrate the southeastern section, leaving Washing- ton simultaneously with the departure of those who are taking the first tour, and probably will proceed through Vir- ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, to inspect high. way construction and types under semi- tropical conditions. Norman C. Damon, who will be in charge of the southern tour, left Washington today to consult with highway officials as to the best route for those taking the southern tour a-d as to where the delegates will find under construction at that time of the year the various types of road building’ that it is desired to see.

In them he reveals a priceless sense of humor and a tremendous flair for carrying on under unusual and try- ing conditions: “‘One paints one’s face a sort of yel- low and darkens one’s eye: he wrote home in describing his first, appearance before the camera. “The studio is an out-of-doors sort of place, with dress- ing rooms all along one side and dif- ferent *bits of rooms bullt all over a vast stage. Sometimes I have to be up in the mountains, sometimes on the sea and sometimes in it!

I often have to change my make-up three times & day and my life is one continual long series of mad rushes in motor car trips t. mountain places and much exposure to the great heat and flies and ants a1d all sorts of beastly insects!” ‘The most stupendous scene of the lot for Maude was a shipwreck, which he describes thus: “There we all were on a platform ex- tremely cleverly constrycted to look like the deck of a big ship.” Five or six men stood at the four corners and tilted it this way and that, while men overhead sprayed heavy rain on us from above, and others showered buckets of water all over us; meanwhile bombs of lightning powder kept exploding, everybody shout- ed and cursed and the devil or death or something horrible came out of the 3 B\ (t; Gifts from The Mer's Shop ~Main Floor Famous for Our Christmas Ties A really tremendous assortment . . .

The Hollywood double hadn't been thought of in those days. A star played his part from beginning to end and the part of Peer Gynt involved carrying his ‘mother on his back to a roof-top, jump- ing off the prow of a boat in Catalina Harbor, riding a huge pig, riding horses and being a target. Of this last Maude and his doubts. He said: “I was already dressed as young Peer in a heavy trapper's leather dress and then I was told to get into an Indian canoe and to paddle across the stream and & man would shoot at me and splinter my paddle in my hand with a rifle shot. I objected to doing this very strongly in Anglo-Saxon, but when the nice Mr. Apfel explained to me that the man shooting was a great expert, I consented to it. Mr. Apfel then told me that a few shots would sprinkle round me in the water first. Jolly, wasn't it!" Short shooting schedules prevailed then as now. Of them Maude says: “Oh, dear, I haven't told you really half of this extraordinary week I find, especially all the touches of comedy in the whole thing. Such weird, inex- pressive, uneducated sorts of people in this kind of work, but they are very in- telligent in their way, all the .same! Dost thou like the picture (business)? ‘When you are engaged at a large salary for only two weeks and they want to avoid paying for any more, then it is vurry trying.” Cyril Maude left for England the day “Peer Gynt” was finished, after the most strenuous two weeks of his life. The industry he worked for as an in- fant development has grown to the most tremendous money force in entertain- ECHT Co. ment in the world. They can offer Maude—and probably have—more than any other venture of his entire histri- onic career. ‘Will the m who Jestingly referred to himself as “‘an old ‘un” 15 years ago venture into the talkies? If he does, Cyril Maude will have one of the most amazing experiences of any living actor. (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- paper Alliance.)
